    Good video , one important thing that wasn’t didn’t mention, but was quickly flashed on the chart, is the chain grade rating , transport chains have to be grade 7 or better . The grade will be stamped on every 4th - 6th link , on old, well used chains it maybe hard to see without your glasses 🤓…. Also ….when tying any piece of equipment down , make sure the tie down chain isn’t anywhere near a brake line, brake pot, water line , oil line , or radiator …. Lesson learned the hard way 😮

    The strongest tied down is the shortest tie down. Most of the time crossing your chains means a longer tied down.

    Don't you have to chain both sides of the articulating joint, unless it has a locking bar?

      Exactly alot of truckers understand you lose 50 percent of wwl of your chain if chained back to the same side of the trailer.You get 100 percent if going across the entire trailer this is direct and indirect tiedowns means.

      Always be willing to learn. Knowledge is priceless, if you don't need to, ASK if you can.... put that experience on your resume for your next job when you start making the real money with that experience 💰

      Not to mention that he had more than 50% of the tire off the trailer which is flat out against the law. But maybe he should run a customers machines off and rip up the sidewall so that he could a valuable lesson.
